Hi John - just got tracks eraser pro doing it's stuff in the back ground, and 
like you said, very strait forward to use, looks impressive. Have you used 
CCleaner? Any thoughts on it? I'm wondering what it might do that tracks eraser 
pro doesn't.

  Hi Christine, here's the link to tracks eraser pro. It's a wonderful little 
programme. It even clears the index.dat file, which the others don't.
    To run it just click on tracks eraser pro, then tab to the erase now 
button. it'll do it and you'll get an OK button. click it and tab to exit. 
That's it.
                      John.

      Hi Andy, I take it he clears his cookies? If he doesn't over time that 
will slow a system to a crawl.

        Thanks Barry - this was for a friend, his machine has been running very 
slow, as in taking ages to open a web page, or even the control panel, this is 
why I thought the virtual memory thing might be the issue; I had him look 
there, but although swap file by name wasn't there under 
system\advance\performance, vertual memory was, and it had the number 575 
against it, telling us we could extend it to a maximum of 776--not sure about 
these numbers--anyway, it didn't help, perhaps is machine is knackered! -

        Andy

          Andy,

           

          You'll need to increase your Virtual Memory.  In Control Panel. To 
set these values, click System, click Advanced system settings , and then click 
Settings under Performance.  Typically 1.5 times your installed RAM is the 
number most home-users need.

           

          How much RAM do you have int hat machine?  It may be an idea to 
upgrade.

           

          Cheers,

          Barry

          Hi all - Can somebody give me some pointers regarding the swap file 
for an XP machine?

           

          A message pops ups saying something about shortage of virtual space 
or memory, and if I recall correctly, this is something to do with the swap 
file, but I don't know where to access it, or what to do with it <smile>

           

          Help appreciated -

           

          Andy
